Nothing, and I mean nothing, should download and install itself to your phone without your permission when you're doing nothing but looking at a website. I just installed an anti-virus app a couple of days ago. I'm glad I didn't wait any longer. Looks like mobogenie is makin' the rounds.

New computers typically come with a trial version Norton AV, or such, which is junk (in my opinion). They pay the computer company big bucks to have their program pre-installed. After 30 days, it starts nagging the h**l out of you to upgrade to the paid version.

meh...none of those 3rd party A/V solutions are impenetrable and it's very easy to find yourself infected even with paid software. Common sense really has become a lost concept these days and companies make millions from it.

It's not that they don't recommend using their own software. I think I was trying to get at was more for us to realize that installing any A/V software will not offer perfect protection. Microsoft works well, some others may work better, but the best protection is safe browsing habits.
